A Massachusetts preschool has shut down after staffers had toddlers paint “blackface” masks on paper plates as part of Black History Month.IC Kids Montessori in Newton said Tuesday that it was closing due to protests at the center that could “put the children at risk” amid outcry over students holding the plates up to their faces during a Feb. 8 lesson.“One of the parents pointed out that the black mask/blackface is offensive,” the school said. “The teacher apologized to the parent.”
